Noche de Arte: O. Gustavo Plascencia (Artist-in-Residence)
Celebrating PRIDE Month with art and community
Join us for Noche de Arte, collaboARTive’s free weekly art experience at Gallery 100 inside InterContinental Miami—where hotel guests, locals, and visitors come together for a relaxed night of art, conversation, and creative play.
Each Monday, you’ll meet a featured artist, enjoy light bites provided by InterContinental Miami, and take part in a hands-on collage activity—no experience needed, just show up and make something.
JUNE 2026 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: O. GUSTAVO PLASCENCIA
A key part of the experience: the Artist-in-Residence creates live during the event, breaking down the borders between artist and viewer and inviting everyone into the process in real time.
Celebrating PRIDE Month in June
PRIDE Month is a time to celebrate LGBTQ+ identity, creativity, and community—and to reaffirm that everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and welcome. At collaboARTive, that aligns with what Noche de Arte is all about: bringing people together through art, conversation, and shared creative play.
This month at Noche de Arte, we’re honoring PRIDE by uplifting LGBTQ+ artists and allies, making space for self-expression, and celebrating the joy that comes from showing up as your full self. Join us in June as we create, connect, and keep building a community where everyone belongs.
